In this task, you're given a context passage. Your job is to generate relevant questions that can be answered by directly referring to the passage.

All but 15 Republicans voted against the act . However , the bill was dead in the water shortly after passage as it lacked the 60 votes it needed to pass the Senate , and would have been vetoed by President Bush if it ever did reach his desk . This fact helped lead to this week's second development which I will discuss a bit later . First things first .
Why might President Bush veto the bill ?
